⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Situation in the #Soledar Direction until 12:00 on 30 Dec 2022⚡️

🩸Intense fighting continues in the vicinity of #Bakhmut and #Soledar. The AFU deploys additional units, see also 👉 Bakhmut's Chaos among Units, to hold #Bakhmut town.

♦️#Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk) Area:

▪️ Wagner PMC assault troops are breaking through the fortified area in #Opytnoye. Fighting is taking place on Shkolnaya Street near the Agrarian Lyceum. Ukrainian tank vehicles are firing indiscriminately at the advancing Russian units from Illich Street.

▪️ Northeast of #Bakhmut, Russian forces took control of two strongholds of the 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade near #Podgorodnoye and one position of the 17th Tank Brigade in the Krasnaya Gora direction from #Pokrovskoye to #Bakhmutskoye.

▪️ On the eastern outskirts of #Bakhmut, according to intercepts of AFU conversations, part of the forested areas have been liberated and advance from the Sinat plant along the industrial zone has begun.

▪️ In the southwest, the RF Armed Forces have taken control of two more AFU firing positions near #Kleshchiyevka and west of #Kurdyumovka. Units of the 28th Mechanized Brigade attempted a counterattack, but the militants were repulsed.

♦️#Soledar Section:

The 128th Mountain Infantry Brigade suffers heavy losses. Dissension is growing in the ranks of the brigade due to the many losses and the unwillingness to defend the populated area. In the past 24 hours, the RF Armed Forces have taken control of an observation point east of Soledar.

▪️ To compensate for the losses, 143 mobilised from Belaya Tserkov have been transferred to Chasov Yar to supplement the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade and 111th Territorial Defence Brigade of the AFU.

▪️ M142 HIMARS MLRS crews have been moved to the vicinity of #Druzhkovka and #Kramatorsk to target Russian positions.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Artyomovsk Direction - Situation in the Morning of 22. Jan 2023; by YURI⚡️

♦️ Here, as yesterday, our pressure to the south of the city in the direction of #Krasnoye continues to intensify.

🔹 Yesterday the Wagner PMCs occupied several more enemy strongholds in the direction of this settlement, and apparently today this movement will continue. All the more so, the consequences from #Zaporozhye direction are already playing into our hands, where the enemy has already been forced to transfer reserves even from the north #Donbass front.

🔹 North of the city, stubborn fighting for control of #Paraskovievka (the most important road junction) continues.

🔹 Also, headquarters and all sorts of "logistics" are gradually being withdrawn from the town, which suggests that the AFU command is preparing for further territorial losses and is not particularly optimistic about retaining the town.

📌 For now it can only try to hold back our offensive in the hope that the crisis in the south will not be large-scale and this will generally allow it to retreat in an orderly manner to new lines east of #Slavyansk and #Kramatorsk and to hold Chasov Yar.
